MLA Langate and President Awami Ittihaad Party (AIP) Er Rasheed Wednesday brought two resolutions for the upcoming assembly session, one seeking protection of article 35A of the constitution and another seeking IIT, IIM and IIMC for Kashmir Valley. After depositing the resolutions in the assembly secretariat, Er Rasheed in a statement to KNS, Wednesday asked all political parties especially NC and PDP to rise above personal interests and dislikes and support the resolution seeking protection of article 35A, which debars non state subjects from purchasing land in Jammu and Kashmir State. He said. “Cutting across political lines state needs to be united to protect the remains of the autonomy and other constitutional guarantees provided to Jammu and Kashmir under Indian Constitution. All the conspiracies, hatched by fascist radical forces, against this important Article of the constitution need to be defeated.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp ChannelThere is a serious need to tell New Delhi not to erode the already eroded autonomy further and not to take Kashmiris for granted. State assembly needs to rise to the occasion not only for protecting rights of the people of the state but also to safe guard its own credibility whatsoever, as assembly has always acted as a collaborator to curb the rights of people of the state .”
Er Rasheed further said that Kashmiris are not against establishing AIIMS, IIT and IIM in Jammu but under no circumstances will compromise on the rights of Kashmiris. He appealed PDP and NC to facilitate the resolutions for taking them for the discussion in the assembly if they are sincere towards the rights of the people of the state. (KNS)
